Zetta.net's WAN traffic de-duplication and optimization paired with multi-threaded data transport enables users to move up to 3TB of data per day to offsite locations not affected by the storm. The solution supports 18 operating system platforms including Linux, Windows and Apple and is optimized for a variety of critical IT assets and applications including SQL, Windows System State, Microsoft Exchange, executive laptops, as well as unstructured data and VMware. With security features such as encryption in flight and at rest, SSAE-16 certification and SAS 70 audit, business users are assured that their data is protected at an enterprise-grade level.

Once data is backed up, it is immediately and securely available to authorized users from any location where there is access to the Internet and electricity. Data can be recovered instantly by either mapping a web drive on the client or from a web browser anywhere. This enables organizations that have been affected by Hurricane Sandy to maintain business continuity from any location that may not be impacted by the natural disaster.

Dedham, Mass. uses Zetta.net's backup and recovery service to ensure that the city's valuable data is protected in the event of a natural disaster. "With Zetta.net, restores are as simple as three clicks away,"said Veronica Barnes, Director of Technology for the Town of Dedham. "Before Zetta.net, we would have to load tapes and wait for the information to be located. Now we can find the information instantly and restore data nearly immediately. It has made us so much better prepared in the event of a disaster, enabling us to retrieve data more readily. If necessary, we could literally rebuild all the town data in a couple of hours compared to days with our previous system. You are only as good as your last backup, and with Zetta.net we don't even have to think about our data. We simply know it's protected."
